They literally all run the same program, lemmy.
Thanks, can an instance technically have a different(or enhanced) user interface?
Yes. Lemmy-ui supports themes and you can even choose an entirely different UI altogether. For example this UI: https://mlmym.org/lemmings.world/
Wow, talk about people clinging to old.reddit.com UI.
It's beautiful
wefwef.app is also another web UI.
But it's not an instance. It's a just a web app for lemmy
Yes you use their backend and you can develop your own UI if you'd like
Or you can make a copy (fork) lemmy-ui and make your changes
It’s got to be two separable layers. Sounds like the lemmy server just happens to be bundled with a particular UI layer that can access the server’s APIs.
Yeah that's the latest lemmy-ui repository. You have the option to choose your own from the backend
But you could switch out the whole lemmy ui with wefwef if you wanted to. It probably doesn't have all the admin functionality, but theoretically it's possible.
Most of them run the default Lemmy UI which comes with the software, although I have seen two which use LemmyBB a front end based on the phpBB bulletin board frontend an example of one such instance would be fedibb.ml
Oh god, I hate that so much, jesus christ. Good luck to them.
Yeah I'm not really a fan of it either. I guess it's good for people to have options though, if they don't want to use the default lemmy-ui front end.
I just noticed it seems like the lemmy update for 0.18.1 broke lemmybb so it seems like they're probably going to be inaccessible until they can get it fixed.
Apparently you can run the wefwef.app front end as well.
I know. Wefwef doesn't belong to instance tho. The reason I asked this was, I wanted to know if the instances are restricted to use the default UI that lemmy provides
With enough nginx config you can probably get around it. You can send certain requests to certain programs and other requests to other programs.
So even if you had a server, with a particular domain/IP, and if lemmy was built to only run the API server alongside a web server whose client consumes from that API, you could reroute any requests that would have gone to the web server, to a wefwef instance instead.
Sorry if the tech jargon’s beyond you.
As an analogy, even if a McDonalds instance is a package deal combining the kitchen and the eating space, there are ways you could make it so that anyone showing up at that street address sees a Starbucks that can get you a McDonalds burger.
I know nginx mate. I understood what you said.
I have a github repo with two themes based on nord. Check it out if you like and I would love any feedback!
